Definitions
- the present invention relates to the construction of buildings. It relates more particularly to a method for producing a multi-ply panel for forming a floor or a wall or an inclined roof, or for forming an addition for a wall, for example in order to improve its heat and/or sound insulation, or its fire-resistance. It also relates to a method for producing a layer for such a panel. Such processes can also be referred to as lamination processes.
- a multi-ply panel for forming or as an addition for a wall, a floor or ceiling, or an inclined surface of a building, formed of a stack of layers formed of parallel structural strips, preferably of wood, and filler strips arranged between the structural strips and made of a material different from that of the structural strips, whereby said materials can be selected for their heat or sound insulation, their thermal inertia or fire-resistance.
- the aim of the present invention is to cope at least partially with these drawbacks.
- it provides a method for manufacturing a layer forming part of a multi-ply panel for forming or as an addition for a wall, a floor or ceiling, or an inclined surface of a building, said layer being formed of a juxtaposition of strips, said strips being either structural strips, preferably made of wood, or filler strips arranged between the structural strips and made of a material different from that of the structural strips, whereby said materials can be selected for their heat or sound insulation, their thermal inertia or their fire-resistance, said method comprising the following steps:
- This method is particular in that each lateral displacement of said layer being produced relative to the assembling plane is performed by the synchronized displacement of the table, which the layer being produced is into contact with by its lower face, and a driving means, which the layer being produced is into contact with by its upper face.
- the layer being produced is perfectly maintained, without exerting any pressure likely to deteriorate the filler strips; this thus permits to assemble a layer with strips having very different characteristics, some of these strips being unable per se to maintain the strips adjacent; this method permits in addition to form a layer with openings.
- the method according to the invention permits the industrial and automated manufacturing of panels comprising mixed strips, which permits to produce such panels with all their variants of characteristics at competitive prices.
- the present invention also relates to a device especially adapted to implement the method according to the invention.
- This device is particular in that it comprises a reference mark forming an assembling plane, a table movable in translation relative to said reference mark, and a means for putting into lateral displacement through contact on the upper face of a layer to be manufactured, said means for putting into displacement being capable of having a movement synchronized with the displacement of said table relative to said reference mark.
- the reference mark can be movable in lateral translation and the table can be fixed, which has however the drawback of making the industrial installation more difficult, namely the supply with structural and filler strips.
- the invention finally relates to a plant designed specifically for producing a multi-ply panel comprising a device for producing a layer according to the invention, and wherein said means for conveying without deformation comprises rows of suction means capable of being applied onto the top of an entire layer and of lifting it, said rows being inclined with respect to the direction of the strips, irrespective of their being longitudinal or transverse, such as to ensure a proper gripping of each strip in longitudinal position and in transverse position.
- the advantage provided by the present invention resides mainly in that it becomes possible to manufacture industrially, and therefore at competitive costs, panels of highly varied composition, and also with varied materials.
- the present invention thus permits the implementation of improved panels in the building industry.

- the different 4 open times can be controlled automatically depending on the type of wafer being formed, in order to optimize the production.
- a second circuit for applying the single-component glue can be provided, which has a different open time, which permits to optimize the production by selecting the application of the glue having the most appropriate open time for the wafer being produced.
- the assembled wafers and layers have the same geometry, with the same openings, but with different formats, in order to create the raw assembly nesting and the rough rabbets in the openings.
- the layer overhangs can be supported by wedging the thickness of the wafer and the surface of the overhang in order to guarantee a proper pressing.

- the apparatus and finishing parameters of the panels are re-distributed to the operators.
- Said file contains all the information useful for the manufacture of the panel from the first to the last step.
- This file is converted, for one part into text files for the machines, for another part into a production list for the manual stations.
- the strip lengths are called onto each automatic cutting line, the strip width and length to measure is displayed on the dedicated station.
- the wooden strips are always of one length.
- the insulating strips are made of one or several pieces jointed simply by gluing at the end.
- the sizing of the end of the second and following pieces, if applicable, occurs during the ejecting of the web leaving the cutting saw.
- the strips are loaded in order of formation, taking into account the gradual decrease of the rows and the lower portion of the final panel.
- the strips are glued vertically on their upper edge, then positioned longitudinally on digitized stops.
- One, two or three strips can be loaded successively to form a row, then they are tilted into flat position and applied laterally against the preceding ones.
- the first row is positioned against a reference mark rule, the positioning of the following ones is ensured by the digitized shift of the composition table, synchronized with application and upper strip-pressing systems.
- the layer being produced 1 is arranged on the table 2 , maintained under the upper pressing system 3 .
- the upper pressing system can be formed of a set of strips wound around three cylinders, one of the strands of the strips being parallel to the table, and capable of exerting a bearing force on the layer being produced 1 .
- the supply and application system 4 is formed of a set of conveyors parallel to the table 2 . These conveyors transport the strips 6 (two or three strips, in case of presence of an opening in the layer being produced) in flat position 5 until the assembling plane. The end of the conveyor 4 is arranged proximate said assembling plane 5 and the conveyor is running to bring the strips to the assembling plane 5 .
- the conveyor 4 starts to move backward while, continuing to run, which causes the strips to be placed on the table 2 ( FIG. 2 ).
- the conveyor 4 with a rule 7 at its end, brings the strips 6 into contact with the layer being produced 1 , by pushing, then applying a slight pressure for bringing into contact ( FIG. 3 ).
- both lateral displacement of the table 2 and starting of the conveyors of the upper pressing means 3 such as to move the layer being produced, which has now been enlarged with one row of strips, without any stress in the adhesive joints and without deformation, until the new end of the layer being produced is in front of the assembling plane 5 .

- the upper pressing of the strips during the sizing between the strips permits to always maintain flush the insulating strip and wooden strips, including when the latter exhibit a helix-like defect, this until the assembling of the layers.
- the layer is oriented in the proper direction and transferred onto the transfer shuttle to the assembling area. It can be provided, in order to facilitate this transfer, that the table 2 is equipped with a conveyor belt covering the entire surface of the table, and the function of which is this transfer onto the shuttle.

- a panel can go through a final machining, or not.
- the panels then pass onto a first table, in order to permit operations of touch-up treatment, placing of the additional accessories, stapling of the vapor barrier and nailing inner battens.
- panels are returned from that table onto a second table, to permit operations of placing of additional accessories, stapling of rain screen and nailing of external battens.
- the operator Before putting them upright, the operator can attach two guiding rods.
- the so prepared panels are then stored, distributed to the different carpentry-placing and finishing stations.
- the layers produced according to the invention are often layers that include both strips of wood and insulating strips.
- the insulating strips are much less resistant than the strips of wood, and the whole layer, once the strips have been assembled by gluing, do not have a good strength, so that the layer must be handled with great care.

Abstract
Description
-
- placing a first strip on a table, a first side edge against a stop, the second side edge according to a predefined strip assembling plane and forming a reference mark,
- sizing the first side edge of a second strip, contacting by means for contacting said first side edge with the second edge of the first strip on the assembling plane, thus forming an assembly of two strips, and the second side edge, not sized, of the second strip forming the end edge of the layer being produced,
- moving said layer being produced sidewise with respect to the assembling plane, until the end edge of the layer being produced corresponds to the assembling plane,
- sizing the first side edge of a third strip,
- and so on, until all of the strips of the layer are assembled.
-
- said table can be movable in rotation between two perpendicular positions, thus permitting to produce longitudinal layers and transverse layers with the same table,
- said synchronized displacement of the table and the driving means can in addition be accompanied by the displacement, also synchronized, of the contacting means, such as to accompany the displacement of the strip that has just been brought into contact,
- at least one strip of the layer can be divided into at least two parts, such as to leave a gap between said two parts, said gap being aimed at forming an opening in the entire layer, for example, for a window or a door.
-
- preparing structural strips and filler strips,
- producing a layer by means of a method according to the invention,
- conveying without deformation of said layer to a pressing area by means of a means for conveying without deformation,
- assembling by gluing said layer with other layers, in order to form a panel,
- machining to the final dimensions of the panel.
-
- said conveying means can be configured capable of exerting a porting force on each strip of the layer; this permits to form a layer with strips of a different nature, and namely with a mixture of structural strips and filler strip, the filler strips being not stressed beyond their own weight,
- the step of preparation of the structural strips can comprise a planing on four faces, such as to improve the geometric accuracy of said strips, thereby permitting a sufficient contact for gluing, without requiring the application of a pressure the filler strips would not be able to withstand,
- the step of preparation of the filler strips can comprise a jointing of several strips, thus permitting an optimal use of the raw material,
- said assembling by gluing of said layer with other layers can be performed with a press controlled by a clamping value to be obtained, regardless of the pressure to be exerted, such as to guarantee the contact between the structural strips of two adjacent layers; indeed, the filler strips can then have a less calibrated thickness, which facilitates their preparation, only the structural strips being calibrated in thickness, and the press is controlled based on the thickness of the structural strips; the filler strips are compressed, and the gluing joint between structural strip is guaranteed,
- said machining to the final dimensions of the panel can be performed by a 6-face machining center, which permits to avoid additional manipulations of the panel, which would be a waste of time and a risk of deterioration, and which also permits to improve the accuracy of said panels, since a repositioning of the panel between the machining of two different faces is avoided.
-
- said assembling plane can be fixed, thus permitting a supply with strips always at the same place,
- said means for putting into lateral displacement can comprise belts wound on three cylinders, and designed so that one of the strands of said belts is parallel to said table, and capable of performing a movement synchronized with said table relative to said assembling plane, thus forming a simple and robust solution
- said table can furthermore be movable in rotation between two perpendicular positions, thus permitting to produce longitudinal and transverse layers with the same table.
-
- either a single-component PUR cold glue, with the following characteristics: PURBOND™ glue HB S-Line HB S109 to HB S309, base packaged in 1000 Kg tank, temperature: min. 18° C., ideal 20° C.,
- or a two-component PUR cold glue, with the following characteristics: KLEIBERIT™ 2C PUR 541.6 glue+3-20% activator, base packaged in 1000 Kg tank, activator in 250 kg container, adjustable application rate of the mixture,
- any other glue with equivalent characteristics.
